EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph, entitled "Fashionable woman at an outdoor dramatic show. The Lesser Theatres, 1819," offers a glimpse into the elegant world of Parisian society during the Bourbon Restoration. The image, created by R.V. after an illustration by Francois Courboin from Octave Uzanne's Fashion in Paris, published by William Heinemann in London in 1898, depicts a fashionable woman strolling through the gardens of the Tuileries or Jardins des Rue de Rivoli, dressed in the height of 19th-century fashion. The woman's ensemble includes a bonnet adorned with a delicate ribbon, a lace ruff collar, a frilled satin dress, and a shawl, all the latest trends of the time. She appears deep in thought as she watches an outdoor play with a crowd of children and adults, adding to the lively atmosphere of the scene. The presence of children playing and a nanny in the background, engaged in a hoop and yo-yo game, adds a touch of whimsy and joy to the image. The handcoloured lithograph, with its intricate details and vibrant colours, transports us back to a time of French culture and aesthetics under King Louis XVIII. This beautiful plate, a testament to the fashionable society of the 19th century, invites us to appreciate the artistry and elegance of the past. The image is a reminder of the enduring allure of Paris and its rich cultural heritage, making it a must-have for any collection focused on fashion, history, or art.
